Rick Ross Says Kanye Made Him Throw Out First "Devil in a New Dress" Verse

While out at ComplexCon, Rick Ross sat down with Complex News' Speedy Morman to talk about one of the most important verses in his catalog: his song-closing bars on Kanye West's "Devil in a New Dress."

"When I recorded that verse for the first time, he came in, heard it," Ross recounted, "he told me he thought I could do better. And he walked out." The MMG boss didn't let that moment deter him from delivering something special. "And then I wrote another one, and the second verse I wrote is the one you hear on the album."

Check out the full interview above, where Ross also talks about standing up for Lil Wayne in the Birdman financial feud.
